                  WHEREAS,  the  Company,  Clear  Channel  Communications,  Inc.
("Parent"),  and CCU  Merger  Sub,  Inc.  ("Merger  Sub") have  entered  into an
Agreement  and Plan of Merger of even date  herewith  (the "Merger  Agreement"),
pursuant to which the parties thereto have agreed, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth therein,  to merge Merger Sub with and into the Company
(the "Merger");

                  WHEREAS,  as of the date hereof,  each of the  Stockholders is
the owner of the number of shares  (the  "Shares")  of common  stock,  par value
$0.10 per share,  of Parent  ("Parent  Common  Stock") set forth  opposite  such
Stockholder's name on Schedule I attached hereto; and

                  WHEREAS,  as a condition to its  willingness to enter into the
Merger Agreement, the Company has required that the Stockholders agree, and each
of the Stockholders  hereby agrees,  to the matters set forth herein.  Except as
specified  herein,  terms  defined in the Merger  Agreement  are used  herein as

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the foregoing and the
agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                  1.       Voting of Shares.

                           1.1.     Voting  Agreement.  Each of the Stockholders
hereby agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all of such  Stockholder's Shares
(and any and all  securities  issued or issuable in respect thereof) which such
Stockholder is entitled to vote (or to provide his written  consent  thereto),
at any  annual,  special  or other  meeting  of the stockholders of Parent, and
at any adjournment or adjournments thereof, or pursuant to any consent in lieu
of a meeting or otherwise:

                           (i)   in favor of the Merger and the approval of the
issuance of Parent Common Stock in the Merger (the "Parent Proposal") and any
actions required in furtherance thereof;

                           (ii)  against  any  action  or   agreement   that  is
reasonably likely to result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant,
representation  or warranty or any other  obligation of Parent under this
Agreement or the Merger  Agreement;
and

                           (iii)    except for all such actions  which may be
permitted  to Parent under  Section  5.1(b) of the Merger Agreement, against (A)
any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, rights offering,
reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation involving Parent or any of its
subsidiaries other than the Merger, (B) a sale or transfer of a material amount
of assets of Parent or any of its material subsidiaries or the issuance of any
securities of Parent or any subsidiary, (C) any change in the Board of Directors
of Parent other than in connection with an annual meeting  of the  shareholders
of Parent with respect to the slate of directors proposed by the incumbent Board
of Directors of Parent (in which case they agree to vote for the slate  proposed
by the incumbent Board) or (D) any action that is reasonably  likely to
materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect  in any
material  respect  the  Merger  and the transaction contemplated by the Merger
Agreement.

                  2. Representations and Warranties of Stockholders. Each of the
Stockholders severally represents and warrants to the Company as follows in each
case as of the date hereof:

                           2.1.     Binding  Agreement.  The Stockholder has the
capacity and full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
to consummate the transactions  contemplated  hereby.  The Stockholder  has duly
and validly  executed and delivered this Agreement and this  Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder,
enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability  may  be  limited  by  applicable   bankruptcy, insolvency, 
reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                           2.2.     No Conflict.  Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement,  nor the compliance with any of the provisions
hereof in each case by the  Stockholder (a) require any consent, approval,
authorization  or  permit  of,  registration,  declaration  or filing (except
for filings under the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) with, or notification to, any governmental  entity,  (b) result
in a default (or an event  which,  with  notice or lapse of time or both,  would
become a default) or give rise to any right of  termination  by any third party,
cancellation,  amendment or acceleration under any material contract, agreement,
instrument,  commitment, arrangement or understanding, or result in the creation
of a security interest, lien, charge, encumbrance,  equity or claim with respect
to any of the  Shares,  (c)  require  any  material  consent,  authorization  or
approval  of any person  other  than a  governmental  entity  which has not been
obtained, or (d) violate or conflict with any order, writ, injunction, decree or
law applicable to such Stockholder or the Shares.

                           2.3.     Ownership  of  Shares.  Except as set forth
in Schedule II and except as may be  provided  in the organizational  documents,
if any, of the Stockholder, the Stockholder is the record  and  beneficial owner
of the  Shares  free and  clear of any  security interests, liens, charges,
encumbrances,  options or restriction on the right to vote the  Shares.  The
Stockholder  holds  exclusive  power to vote the Shares, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement.  The Shares represent  all
of the shares of capital  stock of Parent  beneficially  owned by Stockholder.

                  3.  Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company
represents and warrants to each of the  Stockholders  as follows in each case as
of the date hereof:

                           3.1.     Binding  Agreement.  The Company is a
corporation duly  incorporated, validly existing and in good standing  under the
laws of the State of Delaware and has full  corporate  power and  authority  to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger
Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby  have been duly and validly  authorized  by the Board of
Directors of the Company,  and no other  corporate  proceedings  on the part of
the Company except for the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and
approval  of the Merger by a majority  of the  holders of shares of Company
common stock are necessary to authorize the execution,  delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the Merger  Agreement by the Company and the  consummation
of the  transactions  contemplated  thereby.  The  Company  has duly and validly
executed  this  Agreement  and this  Agreement  constitutes  a legal,  valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms,  except as such  enforceability  may be  limited  by  applicable
bankruptcy,   insolvency,   reorganization   or  other  similar  laws  affecting
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable  principles  (regardless of
whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                           3.2.     No  Conflict.  Neither the  execution  and
delivery of this Agreement, the consummation by the Company of the  transactions
contemplated  hereby,  nor  the  compliance   by  the  Company  with  any of the
provisions  hereof will (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision
of its  Certificate  of  Incorporation  or By-laws,  (b)  require  any  consent,
approval,  authorization  or  permit  of,  registration,  declaration  or filing
(except for filings  under the  Exchange  Act) with,  or  notification to, any
governmental  entity,  (c) result in a default (or an event which,  with  notice
or lapse of time or both,  would  become a default) or give rise to any right of
termination  by any third  party, cancellation,  amendment or acceleration under
any contract, agreement, instrument,  commitment, arrangement or  understanding,
(d) require any material consent, authorization or approval of any person  other
than  a  governmental  entity,  or (e) violate or conflict with any order, writ,

injunction, decree or law applicable to the Company.
                
                  4.       Transfer and Other  Restrictions.  For so long as the
                           Merger   Agreement   is  in  effect:   4.1.   Certain
                           Prohibited   Transfers.   Each  of  the  Stockholders
                           generally agrees not to:

                           (a)      sell, transfer, assign or otherwise  dispose
of, or enter  into any  contract,  option or other  arrangement or understanding
with  respect to the sale,  transfer,  assignment or  other  disposition of, the
Shares or any interest  contained therein if (i) such sale, transfer, assignment
or   other  disposition,  taken  together  with all  other  sales,  transfers,
assignments or other dispositions by the Stockholders,  as a group,  during the
period from the date  hereof  through the date of the meeting held  to  consider
the  Parent  Proposal,  would  be of shares  in an amount in excess of 1% of the
Parent Common Stock then  outstanding or (ii) such sale,  transfer, assignment
or other disposition is  reasonably  likely to impact the  Average Closing Price
(as defined in the Merger Agreement);

                           (b) except as contemplated  by this Agreement,  grant
any  proxies  or  power  of  attorney or  enter into a voting agreement or other
arrangement with respect to the Shares, other than this Agreement;

                           (c) deposit the Shares into a voting trust; nor

                           (d) buy, sell or trade any equity  security of Parent
including, without limitation, entering into any put, call, option, swap or
collar  derivative  transaction which has a similar economic effect if such
purchase, sale or trade is reasonably likely to impact the Average Closing
Price.

                           4.2.     Additional  Shares.  Without  limiting  the
provisions  of the Merger  Agreement,  in the event of (i) any  stock  dividend,
stock  split,  recapitalization,   reclassification, combination  or exchange of
shares of capital  stock of Parent on, or  affecting the Shares or (ii) the
Stockholder  shall  become the  beneficial  owner of any additional  shares of
Parent Common Stock or other securities  entitling  the holder  thereof to vote
or give consent with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1 hereof,  then
the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the shares of capital stock or other
securities of Parent held by the Stockholder  immediately following  the
effectiveness of the events  described in clause (i) or the Stockholder becoming
the beneficial owner thereof, as described in clause (ii), as though they were
Shares  hereunder.  Each of the Stockholders hereby agrees, while this Agreement
is in effect,  to promptly notify the Company of the number of any new shares of
Company Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof.

                  5.  Specific  Enforcement.   The  parties  hereto  agree  that
irreparable  damage would occur in the event that any of the  provisions of this
Agreement  were not  performed  in  accordance  with the  terms  hereof  or were
otherwise  breached  and that each  party  shall be  entitled  to seek  specific
performance  of the terms  hereof,  in addition to any other remedy which may be
available at law or in equity.

                  6.  Termination.  Except for  Sections  6 and 7 hereof,  which
shall survive for the period specified therein,  this Agreement shall terminate,
with  respect  to a  Stockholder  to  whom  any of  the  following  applies,  as
applicable,  but shall not terminate with respect to the other  Stockholders  on
the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger  Agreement,  (ii) the agreement
of the parties hereto to terminate this  Agreement,  (iii)  consummation  of the
Merger and (iv) the date such Stockholder ceases to own any Shares other than as
a result of the breach by such Stockholder of this Agreement.

                  7.  Indemnification.  The Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted  under  applicable  law,  indemnify  and  hold  harmless,  each of the
Stockholders  against  any  costs  or  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees as
provided below),  judgments,  fines, losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities and
amounts  paid  in  settlement  in  connection  with  any  claim,  action,  suit,
proceeding or investigation by Parent or any stockholder of Parent asserting any
breach by the  Stockholder  of any  fiduciary  duty on his part to Parent or the
other  stockholders  of Parent by reason of the  Stockholder  entering into this
Agreement,  for a period of six years  after the date  hereof.  In the event the
Stockholder seeks  indemnification  from the Company for any such claim, action,
suit,  proceeding  or  investigation   (whether  arising  before  or  after  the
termination of this Agreement),  (a) the Company shall pay the fees and expenses
of one counsel  selected by the  Stockholder  and  reasonably  acceptable to the
Company to represent the  Stockholder  in connection  therewith  promptly  after
statements  therefor are  received,  and (b) the Company  will  cooperate in the
defense of any such matter;  provided,  however,  that the Company  shall not be
liable for any settlement  effected  without its written  consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld);  provided,  further, that in the event that
any claim or  claims  for  indemnification  are  asserted  or made  within  such
six-year period,  all rights to  indemnification in respect of any such claim or
claims shall continue until the disposition of any and all such claims.

                  8.  Notices.  All notices and other  communications  hereunder
shall  be  in  writing  and  shall  be  deemed  given  upon  (a)   transmitter's
confirmation of a receipt of a facsimile transmission, (b) confirmed delivery by
a standard  overnight carrier or when delivered by hand or (c) the expiration of
five business  days after the day when mailed by certified or  registered  mail,
postage prepaid,  addressed at the following addresses (or at such other address
for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company.

holder and  beneficial  owner of such  Stockholder's  Shares and nothing  herein
shall limit or affect any actions  taken by a  Stockholder  any  designee of any
Stockholder in his or her capacity as an officer or director of Parent.
